Please house, I have these 2 Lontor rechargeable fans one is 30 watts with 2 pieces 4500mah battery, the other 24 watts with 4500mah battery.
Both are used in one small shop.

My question is can I get a 50 watts solar panel and connect direct to those fans or should I use a charge controller?

If a charge controller is needed, what type or capacity is ideal?

Those fans are only used between 10 am to 5 pm

Care to explain why

chris81964:

I am not sure the batteries are for outdoor use. Unless you can guarantee that moisture would never come through that window, I would move them. Good job

Good pm chairmen.

A question has been bothering me.

Which is actually better between UPS (e.g bluegate UPS) and a hybrid inverter?

Typical UPS consists of: Automatic voltage regulator, battery charger and inverter,

Hybrid inverter consist of: Battery charger, inverter, Mppt charge controller,

But most people that use hybrid inverter with Mppt also are advised to use external Mppt which is additional cost again.

So... Say... If I buy a 3kva Bluegate UPS, open it and connect it to a tubular battery, would it be as efficient as an hybrid inverter viz idle power consumption?

I fear the UPS internal transformer would be quite big and consume more power from the battery than an hybrid inverter.

As I dey read everywhere day inverter dey misbehave, I never see where UPS dey misbehave o

In short, I will like to know the disadvantages of using UPS in place of inverter

@ TechGeek777.
Please, where can someone buy original 350w to 400w panel in Benin. Whether tier 1 or 2 will depend on price.
Thanks

sintolord:
Why not buy from Lagos & the company will waybill it to Benin, somewhere around new Benin or Agbado. Shipping is very cheap unlike jumia or konga

oweniwe:


Waybill is cheap?

Once the park people or driver sight your load, they'll start calling outrageous amounts. Sometimes it's even cheaper to buy seat than waybill

Justice629:




I totally agree with the quote, the highest SOC since beginning of July to date is 60% and that occurred once this month even with a 6300w pv.

With a terrible power generation this month am still rocking 100% off grid with no downtime but with a serious energy management .

My current DOD (8%) now will be fantasy to PB users while truest to lifepo4 shine without breaking a sweat. My DOD and SOC this month fluctuates between 5% to 40% and this will probably be bad for PB batteries.

Attached also is today's forecast which is terrible for my current DOD😭 how do I navigate through this🤦🏾‍♂️

You get bad mouth. Lol

Trippledots:


Hi, please How/where did you get that battery monitor from?

Malquisoft:


Lontor rechargeable fans are built to use solar panels directly, provided you do not exceed 50 watts. There's is a port where you connect it on the fan, not directly to the battery.
